http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036996
but from what i've read this has a custom boot screen,
can someone please link me or upload the zip with the standard nexus s bootanimation so i can go back to that?
thanks
Idk if you still need it, but here you go:
http://www.mediafire.com/?7vm63bexn95u5z1
Do you need help flashing it? Cause it wont work if you just try flashing from the SD card. You need to move it to the media folder first and flash from there. OR if you wanted to use a third party software try: Boot Animation Changer LITE. Download it from market, open, allow super-user permission, select Advanced Settings, select backup animation, close. Mount USB and place bootanimation in "BootanimStock" folder, it should then ask if you want overwrite, yes. Unmount USB, enter BAC app, advanced settings, restore stock animation. And that should do it. Remember ALLWAYS Backup!!!
lol I know it seems kinda counter intuitive but its the only way i could get the free app to work correctly.
**Note I haven't tried this bootanimation myself yet, so sorry if its the incorrect one
All I'm trying to do is use a custom dock background with Go Launcher EX. I'm rooted and have both the android market and gapps installed. I installed Go Launcher EX via the market.
Whenever I set a custom dock background via the Go Launcher preferences, it only stays put until I reboot. After a reboot, the background disappears and there's no background at all. The background I'm using is a PNG which i have located in /sdcard/theme/docks, permissions on the file according to Root Explorer are ---rwxr-x.
What gives here? Why do I have to reset it after every reboot?
EDIT: It's interesting to note that if I use the "GO Theme background" under Preferences->Visual settings->Backgrounds for my dock background, the theme image is persistent after any number of reboots.
it's only a shot in the dark but i think at reboot the system is starting go launcher. according to this the rights have to be rwxrwxr-x
or the sdcard is'nt mounted when it loads - then copy somewhere to system might help
never done this - just some ideas ...
I'm unable to modify permissions of files in /sdcard. Also, I have custom dock icons that are located in /sdcard/theme/icons and they always stick around after a fresh reboot, so I'm not sure about the need to move my dock background PNG to /system. I currently only have apk's in /system.
the icons have the same permissions ?
maybe a bug in go launcher you just discovered !
Yes, the icons have the same permissions.
Could it possibly be that I'm cropping the image? Anyone know the exact dimensions I would need to use to avoid cropping?
just looked at my kf - can't find the original images - does anyone know the location ?
Hey all, I'm having problems restoring system apps on stock lp d802, (such ass lg messaging). titanium stucks on restoring, after reboot app is there, but it's not responding (tried multiple apps). What am I missing?
Never restore system apps... Try restore only data, or use some sms backup app

Siggey is right. Try to avoid system app restoring.
But, as a possible solution.. Set SELinux to Permissive and trying to restore your Titanium Backup again.
Just want to report that I managed to restore some of the system apps. After titanium stuck at restoring, force close it, go to es explorer navigate to root, system, apps, at root of folder there you will find the app you tried to restore in my example lggallery.apk. Create folder of the same name, change it's permissions to match other folders, move apk to folder, reboot.

It's one of the apps that is causing the issue. For me it's Google Drive. Restore some first and you'll soon weed out which ones you can and can't restore.
Hello friends this is my first contribution to this forum, this file removes unnecessary built-in apks present in, /system/app & /system/priv-app.
I will miss the applications removed?
No, because a current copy of them is running on /data/app
Goal
Remove unused applications by the system
Free up space in the device memory
Compatibility
Nexus 5 android 6.0.1 must have root and twrp
How to use
Installed the android 6.0.1, get in playstore and update all applications, now just flash the zip via TWRP.

This is a system partition
The deletion is useless because you can't use this space and you won't appreciate any differences
Read here, it is very very important
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64208563&postcount=3393
Personally I prefer to disable unnecessary apps
Pay attention
I do not like duplicate files, disabling an app the same will continue in the system, the idea is to not disable an app.
If I have the upgraded chrome in data\app I will not want an unusable copy of it on \system\app. My list does so with 30 Apps, if they are all updated on DATA I see no utility in maintaining obsolete unusable in the SYSTEM, and we still have the possibility to uninstall those we dislike.

If you read that post he clearly says that to modify system you need to delete things from it to be safe. He is pointing out that it is an unknown. He said even to make small changes you would need more space. I see no reason to leave unneeded files in system. Maybe you want to run an app as system app and these unneeded files are getting in the way. Nothing wrong with getting rid of them.
We can use some root enabled file app managers (like es explorer, solid explorer) to uninstall the system apps.
I just want to know if is it safe or not?
And is it different than using flashable script?

File explorers with root function can enable manual removal of system apps, but it is laborious and tedious remove as many apps, It is safe if you know what you are removing, because the system is running if you give problem can fall into a bootloop... my flash file is safe removal of 30 apps, all with updated copies of the same in DATA folder so I ask you to enter the play store and update it before you use it, nothing is lost only copies obsolete and useless are removed.
The advantage here is not to miss anything, remove enough waste Rom, and return the power to uninstall what you do not want. I do not use play books, play movies, keep, Drive, Hangouts... so without losing any, then after the flash zip i have the freedom to uninstall what I want.
Here you can find recovery flashable zip by SilviuMik and text by me .....these can help you to debloat your I9192 easily...
Make sure to backup before flashing this because with this you can delete your some favourite apps from stock......
Make sure to see the updater-script in this zip file to know what is deleted after flashing....
